Out of the shadows? A review of the responses to recommendations made in “Pushed into the Shadows: young people’s experience of adult mental health facilities” (October 2008)
Primary care trusts and mental health trusts have some way to go if they are to meet the Government’s target to ensure no children or young people are inappropriately placed on adult mental health wards by 2010, the Children’s Commissioner for England today says today. Out Of The Shadows?, a joint report from 11 MILLION, led by the Children’s Commissioner for England, YoungMinds and Very Important Kids (VIK), says that although some authorities are making good progress, others still have some way to go. The report follows on from 11 MILLION’s report of January 2007, Pushed Into The Shadows, which outlined the appalling treatment many children and young people with mental health problems have had to endure when placed on adult mental health wards.

Policies and Practices for mental health in Europe (10th October 2008)
This report, published by World Health Organisation, provides data not hitherto available on mental health policy and practice across the European Region. It also highlights important information gaps. Policies and practices for mental health in Europe allows for country to country comparisons on indicators such as numbers of psychiatrists, financing, community services, training of workforce, prescription of anti-depressants and representation of users and carers. Data for the 42 Member States involved was obtained from ministries of health.

How should services meet the needs of people with Down Syndrome who develop dementia? (October 2008)
People with Down syndrome are living longer. They also develop dementia, particularly Alzheimers, much earlier than others. As a result there is a growing need to promote appropriate assessment and care planning, and to ensure that housing and support services recognise and respond to the particular needs of those individuals with Down Syndrome who are living with dementia.
